Surface 3 BSOD After Resetting

Surface 3 BSOD After Resetting

Hello all,

I am selling my Surface 3 so today I wiped all of my files off of it but after I did it became stuck on a blue screen that says INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. I've been on the forums and I think I know how to fix it but I do have a question. I'm going to have to create recovery media and the process for doing so seems to require a 25 digit key for reinstalling Windows but I don't have a key. I have my original box and paperwork for the Surface and nowhere in there is a Windows key that I have found. My question is do I really need the key or will I be able to create the recovery media without it? Sorry if this is a bit confusing.

Thank you.
